Teenager in Nepal said to have been meditating for 6 months with no water
A 15-year-old Nepalese boy has been meditating for six months straight without drinking water, so say the locals of his village. Some are saying his is the "Buddha-reincarnate." Scientists plan to observe him around the clock to see if he is sneaking food and water.
Link (thanks, cyril!)Bamjan has spoken only a few times since he began the meditation, according to Prem Lama.
He said the first time Bamjan spoke was when a snake bit him around a month ago.
Bamjan took the incident as his second test, which he must overcome, Prem Lama said.
In the first test he was also bitten by a snake - three months after he began the meditation.
